Steve, Yes, that's the movie - The Hot Spot. Funny, I love the music, but I've yet to see the movie...

Here’s, I think, a fun story.   After reading Dayglow’s post just yesterday, I ordered a NM copy of Cedar Walton’s “Soundscapes” yesterday off Discogs.  Today it shows up at my door in a mailer but with no postage.  Turns out I bought it from a record merchant just a mile and a half up the road from my house, Jump Jump Records.  It’s a store that I’ve never been in because Dan, the sole proprietor, doesn’t really keep regular hours and the few times I’ve tried he wasn’t around.  Called him and thanked him for the favor and fastest delivery ever.  Nice guy.  

Just arrived today.

Jack Nitzsche - "The Hot Spot" Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

Robbie Robertson - S/T

Both are fantastic albums IMHO, full of great supporting artists

The Hot Spot is a movie soundtrack, composed by Jack Nitzsche and performed by John Lee Hooker, Miles Davis, Taj Mahal, Roy Rogers, Tim Drummond, Bradford Ellis and Earl Palmer.

The self-titled Robbie Robertson album features U2, The BoDeans, Daniel Lanois, Peter Gabriel, Terry Bozzio, Tony Levin, Garth Hudson, Rick Danko, Ivan Neville and more!

Both of these records have been on my wishlist for years. I've owned the CDs for a long time and finally got them on vinyl. Both are in really nice condition and both sound great.

Have been pounding the Airborne, Zinc, and Vitamin D.  Will now add handy bonded Rye to the regimen.   

I certainly hope you don’t spit…

Grey’s Anatomy just tested positive for COVID this morning on her 3rd day of very mild symptoms.  Not worried about it too much but it does put a damper on the social program.

Had anybody purchased the David Crosby - If I Could Only Remember My Name, 50th reissue?  

Just got it last week. Fantastic LP. Can't compare it to the original, but highly recommended

Originally released in 1956 as MG V4003

On the back cover it reads Universal music B0015627-01

If you still can't find it, LMK

 

@sailmed 

I am interested in the Ell and Loius album but see there are more than one that seems to have the same title.  Can you please describe which one that you have.

Thank you.

James - This is a favorite of mine from a music perspective…just stellar frozen a time stuff with coconspirators I love… I have the 50 th and a pristine German PP. i find the 50 th to have a layer of grunge and murk removed. As you know i am a level matching dude and from the get go the 50 th is cut a whisker hotter, tredle clear, extended and sweet. i expect this would sound awesome on your ESL 63. Tamalpais High has wall to wall soundscapes. I believe both Joel and Steve also have the 50 th.

IMO very much worth having.

Jim

The Crosby 50th sounds great! Bested my Classic Records easily. 

The new one has a speed correction that's easily heard.

Had anybody purchased the David Crosby - If I Could Only Remember My Name, 50th reissue?   How does it compare to the OP? To the Rhino? (I just have the Rhino).  I’m not in the habit of spending for multiple copies of records but this one has me interested.  

@slaw

 

Steve, you know, I like it. Ripley has been around for awhile and is of course pretty well known here in the Northwest. I’ve been listening to his stuff in various solo and collaborative iterations for awhile and have always been interested but never bought any of his records before. This one is nice. Kinda mello. I like it.

Notice (you probably know already) New Father John Misty (Josh Tillman) double album available for pre-order.  Same producer/collaborator, Jonathan Wilson, so I’m assuming will be an all analogue production.   I like Tillman’s approach to lyrics.  

@tomic601 

Thx for compliment. +1 for mentioning Tommy Tutone excellent songwriting for the "power pop" genre.

Ella and Louis.  Analogue Productions (two LP at 45 rpm)

    It is as if they are in the room with you. 

 

This Mountain Goats album is really good so far.  Vocals have a very realistic presence.   Great Lyrics.  

@gardners501 

 

Sunken Cathedral" Jackson Berkey, pianist


+1 An especially great sounding record.  

@tomic601 , @boxer12 , @j_husker , @bslon, @mammothguy54

 

wow, thanks for taking the time and effort to make those suggestions.

I saw Wendy O and the Plasmatics at Perkins Palace, in Pasadena.  And yes, they blew up a car on stage (signature performance stunt).  It was quite a sonic concussion.  And yes, she was wearing electrical tape over her nipples, otherwise topless.
